I will remove HBSMS also. Sorry if fixing "other 
ppls bug" is so bothersome for you in this particular 
case. I thought for a second that after me having fixed 
hundreds/thousands (?) of bugs in other people's code, 
could have expected that once in while someone will fix 
one in my code. Looks like I was wrong.

Yes, I undone my mistake(s) and presented the file 
in its original form, which I didn't author or 
create in the first place. I'm sure I made huge damage 
now, but I just love making damage as all of this 
list could see in last years ;)

Brgds,
Viktor
